A new study published on arXiv investigated the problem-solving capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically focusing on statics questions in engineering education. Researchers used a model distillation process with ChatGPT to create a dataset of 25 text-only statics problems, and two additional datasets incorporating diagrams and modified numerical values. The findings indicate that while LLMs perform well on text-based statics problems, their accuracy significantly drops when diagrams are introduced, suggesting difficulties in multi-step reasoning and integrating visual information.
